Hello.

I figured it was about time I said something here on this app. You can only scroll mindlessly for so long, after all.

Sometimes, when my mind's too full for its own good and I really feel like the speck of dust I am to the universe, I jot things down. They're inconsistent, messy, and occasionally unclear in meaning even to myself, but they've helped me balance things as I'm handed new plates to stack onto my full hands. Like shaking out a box marked 'miscalleneous' to make it easier to sort into neat little compartments, I've been keeping most of these writing sprees tucked away in my notes app. And every so often, I'd debate whether or not to put them out into the void for others to see and possibly connect to.

Today I'm tipsy, sentimental, and staying up way past an hour that can be considered good for me, so here we are. I'll be posting some of the stuff that comes to me in this little corner of the internet, so feel free to have a look around.

In the meantime, I'm going to sprinkle some pieces of myself here, see how things turn out. It's nice to meet you.

(As a sidenote, I'm new to this tagging business and therefore shit at it, so sue me.)

I love your skin With each of its blemishes I love your skin It's so different from my own

And although it's not plain And far from a blank canvas I would like to paint on it With my lips, using bright colors Each stroke simple Every line gentle and perfect

I envision stars and clouds There are flowers, sunlight A bed, fluffy soft blankets Sweet kisses, intense kisses

And when I'm finished I would like to sit and stare Examine every inch of you Appreciate every part of you Both the ones already there, And the new pictures I've added Because to me, you're beautiful And I could never leave you untouched
